A big chunk goes to Shriners Hospitals. I would not be able to walk if not for them, and they get the largest share of whatever we leave when we die.

The animal shelter is in our will because of my wife's passion for saving feral cats. It's super important to her, and the local shelter (which started killing cats en masse recently ) will no doubt be replaced by another animal rescue charity.
